This is a great way to make a difference in your community!!

Encouraging the local community in Northeast Minneapolis to help beautify our city by getting outside for a community clean-up effort the weekend of October 15-17. This semi-annual event (formally known as "W**d It & Reap") has been going strong for over 25 years through the generosity of local businesses, nonprofit partners, and volunteers like you!
